Did anyone have swelling after their first run back ? I ran for 15 min 2 min run 1 min walk , ran on a small track , didnt feel any pain but knee swelled up a little next day and its still the same. Also knee feels tighter
Anyone have similar experience?
2 months post op muscles are getting stronger and increasing weight in the gym but my surgical leg doesn’t look the same as the other leg, does strength come back before shape ?
At what point after surgery did yall have same leg strength or 90% same muscle strength?
What exercises helped the most ?
How long until the swelling comes down and the knee looks like the other one ? I’m 7 weeks post op swelling is still there but not as much as the second week I’m regaining strength on my muscles but swelling been staying the same. I ice 4 times and elevate 4 times and wear a compression sleeve a bit
Is it normal to feel knee just a bit sore like at the front of the knee and a bit achy but doesn’t hurt ? It feels like that if I overwork the day before , this will go away after I rebuild strength in the muscles?

Had Acl surgery and meniscus repair yesterday , I swear I have full extension I took my brace off to compare and it was the same but bending is at 70. ( before surgery I had full extension and full bending so idk if that helps after surgery and leg strength was both legs the same ) The brace is actually annoying and I can’t wait to take it off. Do I have to wait for my surgeon to let me take the bandage off and start icing my knee ?
Just had Acl reconstruction and meniscus repair couple of hours ago , is this the right way to keep my foot elevated and good for extension
Going into Acl surgery ( hamstring graft and meniscus repair or trim today. I know my surgeon will give me some exercise to do but if I can get any advice from you guys that would be lovely . This my first time , im 21
Going into Acl reconstruction, also have a meniscus tear , report said
Medial joint compartment, however, shows a complex tear of the posterior horn extending into the mid horn. This is a vertical as well as a horizontal component. The hyaline cartilage is intact.
Impression:
Regarding my meniscus surgeon told me during the surgery I’ll decide if it’s repairable or a trim
Can yall let me know how bad is trimming ? Also if u had the same tear tell me what happened to you
I’m 21 play soccer , have really good strength before surgery on both legs
Going into surgery may 22 with both leg strength the same maybe even my injured leg stronger . I did rehab for 7 months because I was misdiagnosed for a meniscus injury but I got an mri and my Acl was torn and medial meniscus, getting surgery may 22. Will all the prehab help me after surgery ?
